GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
UNDER THE HOOD AND VEHICLE
The maintenance items listed here should be checked periodically (e.g. each time you check the engine oil or refuel).Accelerator pedalCheck the pedal for smooth operation and make sure the pedal does not catch
or require uneven effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal.—
Clutch pedalMake sure the pedal operates smoothly and check that it has the proper free
play.MA-22
BrakesCheck that the brake does not pull the vehicle to one side when applied. —
Brake pedal and
boosterCheck the pedal for smooth operation and make sure it has the proper distance
under it when depressed fully. Check the brake booster function. Be sure to
keep floor mats away from the pedal.BR-6, "
Inspection and
Adjustment" and BR-19,
"On-board Inspection"
Parking brakeCheck that the lever has the proper travel and make sure that the vehicle is held
securely on a fairly steep hill when only the parking brake is applied.PB-4, "INSPECTION"
Automatic transaxle
“Park” mechanismCheck that the lock release button on the selector lever operates properly and
smoothly. On a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the
selector lever in the “P” position without applying any brakes.—
CVT P (Park) position
mechanismOn a fairly steep hill check that the vehicle is held securely with the selector
lever in the “P” position without applying any brakes.— ItemReference page
ItemReference page
Windshield
washer fluidCheck that there is adequate fluid in the tank. —
Engine coolant
levelCheck the coolant level when the engine is cold.CO-8, "
LEVEL CHECK"
A/C condenser,
radiator and
hosesCheck the front of the condenser and radiator and clean off any dirt, insects,
leaves, etc., that may have accumulated. Make sure the radiator hoses have no
cracks, deformation, deterioration or loose connections.—
Brake and clutch
fluid levelsMake sure that the brake and clutch fluid levels are between the “MAX” and “MIN”
lines on the reservoirs.BR-9, "
CHECKING BRAKE
FLUID LEVEL" and MA-22,
"Checking Clutch Fluid
Level and Leaks"
BatteryCheck the fluid level in each cell. It should be between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines.
Vehicles operated in high temperatures or under severe conditions require fre-
quent checks of the battery fluid level.—
Engine drive beltsMake sure that no belt is frayed, worn, cracked or oily.MA-13
Engine oil levelCheck the level on the dipstick after parking the vehicle on a level spot and turning
off the engine.LU-5, "ENGINE OIL
LEVEL"
Automatic tran-
saxle fluid levelCheck the level on the dipstick after putting the selector lever in “P” with the
engine idling.MA-20 and MA-22
Exhaust systemMake sure there are no loose supports, cracks or holes. If the sound of the
exhaust seems unusual or there is a smell of exhaust fumes, immediately locate
the trouble and correct it.MA-20
UnderbodyThe underbody is frequently exposed to corrosive substances such as those used
on icy roads or to control dust. It is very important to remove these substances,
otherwise rust will form on the floor pan, frame, fuel lines and around the exhaust
system. At the end of winter, the underbody should be thoroughly flushed with
plain water, being careful to clean those areas where mud and dirt can easily
accumulate.—
Fluid leaksCheck under the vehicle for fuel, oil, water or other fluid leaks after the vehicle has
been parked for a while. Water dripping from the air conditioner after use is nor-
mal. If you should notice any leaks or gasoline fumes are evident, check for the
cause and correct it immediately.—

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Revision: June 20062007 Versa
Abbreviations: R = Replace. I = Inspect. Correct or replace if necessary. [ ]: At the mileage intervals only
(1) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, inspect every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months. Replace the drive belts if found
damaged.
(2) If operating mainly in dusty conditions, more frequent maintenance may be required.
(3) Maintenance-free item. For service procedures, go to the FL section.
(4) After 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 48 months, replace every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months.
(5) If valve noise increases, inspect valve clearance.
* Maintenance items and intervals with “*” are recommended by NISSAN for reliable vehicle operation. The owner need not perform
such maintenance in order to maintain the emission warranty or manufacturer recall liability. Other maintenance items and intervals are
required.

(1) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, change (not just inspect) oil (exc. LSD) at
every 30,000 miles (48,000 km) or 24 months, and change LSD gear oil every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or 12 months.
(2) If towing a trailer, using a camper or a car-top carrier, or driving on rough or muddy roads, inspect CVT fluid deterioration with CON-
SULT-II every 60,000 miles (96,000 km), then change CVT fluid NS-2 if necessary. If CONSULT-II is not available, change (not just
inspect) CVT fluid NS-2 every 60,000 miles (96,000 km). Using transmission fluid other than Genuine NISSAN CVT Fluid NS-2 will
damage the CVT, which is not covered by the NISSAN new vehicle limited warranty.
(3) Refer to “Tire rotation” under the “GENERAL MAINTENANCE” heading earlier in this section.

2. Compress the air conditioner filter (1) downward while sliding it
to the RH side of the vehicle to release the upper pawl.
3. Move the bottom of air conditioner filter (1) upward as shown to
release the bottom tab, then remove it.
4. Replace the air conditioner filter with new one and install the
new filter in the A/C unit assembly.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the air conditioner filter lower tab is fully
seated, and that the air conditioner upper pawl is locked
into place securing the new filter into the A/C unit assem-
bly.
Checking Exhaust SystemELS0021U
Check the exhaust pipes, muffler, and exhaust mounts for improper
attachment, leaks, cracks, damage, chafing, or deterioration.
Checking CVT FluidELS0021V
FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Fluid level should be checked with the fluid warmed up to 50 to 80°C (122 to 176°F).
1. Check for fluid leakage.
2. With the engine warmed up, drive the vehicle to warm up the
CVT fluid. When ambient temperature is 20°C (68°F), it takes
about 10 minutes for the CVT fluid to warm up to 50 to 80°C
(122 to 176°F).
3. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake.
4. With engine at idle, while depressing brake pedal, move the
selector lever throughout the entire shift range and return it to
the “P” position.
5. Press the tab on the CVT fluid level gauge to release the lock
and pull out the CVT fluid level gauge from the CVT fluid charg-
ing pipe.

6. Wipe fluid off the CVT fluid level gauge. Then rotate the CVT
fluid level gauge 180° and re-insert it into the CVT charging pipe
as far as it will go.
CAUTION:
Always use lint free paper towels to wipe fluid off the CVT
fluid level gauge.
7. Remove the CVT fluid level gauge and check that the fluid level
is within the specified range as shown. If the fluid level is at or
below the low side of the range, add the necessary specified
NISSAN CVT fluid through the CVT charging pipe.
CAUTION:

Only use specified NISSAN CVT fluid.

Do not overfill the CVT.
8. Install the CVT fluid level gauge to the CVT fluid charging pipe until it locks.
CAUTION:
When CVT fluid level gauge is installed into the CVT fluid charging pipe, make sure that the CVT
fluid level gauge is securely locked in place.

2. Drain CVT fluid from CVT fluid cooler hose [outlet side (1)] and
refill with new specified NISSAN CVT fluid in the CVT fluid
charging pipe with the engine running at idle speed.
CAUTION:
Only use the specified NISSAN CVT fluid.
3. Refill until new CVT fluid comes out from CVT fluid cooler hose [outlet side (1)].
